The Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has observed an increasing gamma-ray flux from a source positionally coincident with the FSRQ PKS 1424-41 (1FGL J1428.2-4204; RA=14h27m56.3s, DEC= -42d06'19.4", J2000, Johnston et al. 1995, AJ, 110, 880). This strong radio source is a highly optically polarized quasar with a redshift of 1.522 (White et al. 1988, ApJ, 327, 561) and its milli-arcsecond scale jet shows no relativistic motion.
